Mule Deer Rifle

Im probably going to carry the 7RM with the 145 LRX load I made up last year

I loaded up some Hornady 80gr ELD-X for my 22 Creedmoor today. I figured I would use it for Deer this year. They don't shoot as good as Bergers 85.5 gr bullets. The Bergers are a 10 shot ragged hole all day long. I have a 1 - 7.5 twist

I’ve still got a bunch of the old “pre-ELD-Anything” 75 A-Max I’m using in the 22Creed and a 1:8 22-250. Figure the Swift should be an easy swap. Hope the 22Creed doesn’t make everything else irrelevant…..

Does wind have less affect on slimmer projectiles? "Seems" it would. Obviously, I'm an enthusiast NOT an expert: Also, just saw a re-run of "Myth Busters": Dimpled golf balls travel "37%" further and a dimpled car got better gas mileage.

Would a dimpled bullet have any advantage within angular momentum or would the Magnus Effect only apply to drag stabilization?

Why does Arby's put the Beef And Cheddar on a fucking disgusting onion roll?

^^^^^.., why?

Windage is all about time of flight. Mitigating the effect of wind therefore is primarily about retaining velocity. Bullet diameter itself isn’t as important as the shape of the entire projectile and its ability to retain velocity.

For a given cartridge the highest bc projectile may or may not be the best @ retaining velocity. It takes a bit of running numbers to find that balance of velocity vs. BC that can minimize TOF.

Cool. What about dimples and angular momentum?

No clue. Dunno if dimples would help w/that much rotational velocity or not???
